Main Topics
Browse All TopicsI have used this before to create photo albums for websites but for some reason I keep getting an error. In DW when I finish the dialog box to set up cart I get a message the opens up in Photoshop. The message says Could not complete request because PS doesn't recognize that type of file. I don't understand where the problem is. All images are saved as .jpg files. Please advise.

In response to Jason 1178,
I saved the images in Photoshop and put them in a folder. Then in Dreamweaver, I clicked the Commands/Create Web Photo Album. During this process, you id the folder that has the images and DW does the rest, ie resizing thumbnails, etc.
In response to IanTh,
I am not editing the PS files in DW. I am trying to use the application in DW to create a photo album but it isn't working. Yes, the images open in PS. That is where I saved them all.
do a repair then through control panel add and remove programs or programs and features in vista as its obviously a problem with a backend function thats called when dw uses ps code
I have the same installed and I don't get the same result so its something wrong in dw and the repair will fix any missing or corrupt files
IanTh,
You're off base with this. Reinstalling or repairing is not indicated when a dynamic behavior fails to work as expected. While it might fix the issue if the app is corrupt, there could be other issues in play that a reinstall/repair wouldn't address. Better to start slow before going thermonuclear on what we assume is an otherwise good installation of the program...
Generally speaking, you want to ask a user to reinstall DW when the program crashes on adding a behavior or fails to load or throws the same error up repeatedly whenever a mouse or keyboard action is made. Those all indicate corruption at some level and the troubleshooting steps are:
1) Disable all extensions
2) Delete WinFileCache-XXXXXXX.dat from the user configuration folder
3) Delete the User's configuration folder and let DW recreate it
4) Go thermonuclear
Follow each step and test extensively at the end of each one.

nsitedesigns,
I will need to test this from home tonight (My office machine still has CS3 only) but please check the following:
1) Are all images "good" jpgs (will they open in another application)?
2) Is Photoshop the default program for jpgs in both Windows and in DW (Edit | Preferences | FileTypes / Editors)?
>> I dumped the plists for both PS and DW but that didn't seem to help.
What does "dump the plists" mean?
>> Is Fireworks installed and available?
>>> It is installed but I am not familiar with it as much as PS.
Okay. How are jpgs being handled from the OS and from within DW? (http:#a24765510)

Is this command coming from Photoshop or Dreamweaver?
